Automatic Release of invoice with price differance

[Former Member]

Hi

All price differences when matching the PO, GR and invoice ends up in MRBR with price difference block. It works fine for POs with goods. But when a service is entered in the PO we can not get it released automatically.

We create a PO (service)

Service entry sheet of the full amount of the PO

Create invoice with price difference

Change PO to invoice price

Run MRBR....

But it is not released. The price difference is still there even though we have changed the PO.

What have I not thought of?

Sincerely

Hi,

Once u run the t.code : MRBR then u need to delete the blocking reason. for Ex: quantity variance then u need to goto quantity variance field then click on delete blocking reason. Then save it.

Please check and let know.

Thanks & Regards

Hi

But a change in the PO should remove that blocking reason automatically (as with POs with goods). Then you should only need to run MRBR with "Release Automatically" checked, right?

But the invoice is not getting released and I wonder if it has to do with the fact that it is a service PO?

We have the same problem with invoices blocked for quantity mismatch. After changing the PO to the quantity in the invoice and the additional GR the invoice will not be released automatically. The difference in MRBR for that invoice is still not 0. How come this is not updated? Is it not enough to change the PO and do additional GR?

Hi

Standard SAP states:

During the entry of an invoice for a service, the system proposes the value from the service entry sheet but not the purchase order value.Correspondingly, the invoice value is compared with the value of the entry of services during the invoice release and not with the purchase order value, as is the case with another purchase order.

Will I have to change the price in the service entry sheet for the invoice to be released?

Hi,

Why not just put a tolerance limit for the price discrepancy? Access the Transaction through OMR6, then open Tolerance Key PP.

In here you can put Upper and Lower Limits for the tolerance, so in that way Invoice will not be blocked for payment due to price discrepancies.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

But we want the invoice to be blocked. It is only when you are in agreement with the vendor that the price should be changed that we do the PO change.
